  • Just a Normal Day

    Ever since the schoolyear began, I've been... busy.

    I wasn't around 'coz...

    I've been busy before but I am busier now. The fact that there had been some technical difficulties didn't make my life any easier. I've been having a really crappy internet connection because of a busted modem. Anyway, I'm not here to rant about that. In fact, I'm not even here to rant. I'm only here because I've been gone for a while, and I miss this.

    My high school buddies:

    I have two friends from high school who went to the same university. They aren't with me anymore. The first one went to another school and the other one didn't go to school due to some reason unknown to me. I didn't know any of these. They didn't say anything. The first one said nothing about it, probably because it was all so sudden. The other one, I have no contact with her. I don't know.

    Regarding the 90 days challenge:

    If you think I stopped reading, I didn't. I still read the assigned chapters every single day. I just didn't post my updates on the pulse because the internet connection was really crappy. Well, it's fixed now so I have no excuse to post my updates. I just finished 2nd Kings yesterday.

    Other school stuff:

    Last week, I got sick so I didn't get to attend school for four days. I missed out on a lot of things and I am trying to cope. Oh, I failed to perform well in our swimming class earlier today due to last week's absence. Darn it, I can't even swim and I have to swim. But that's okay.

    One of my college buddies are celebrating her birthday today. :) Hope she has a great one.

     

    Okay, maybe I should stop writing this boring crap I call a blog entry. Like I said before, I am only here to update. I'm not here because I have some 'thoughts'. When there's too much to do, there's no time to entertain your thoughts. That would be a waste. Although I am wondering if I'm cut out for this course. I'm not exactly the 'caring' type. Darn it. I'll say something meaningful some other time. If that day would ever come. For now, I'll just do school stuff because that's what I'm supposed to be doing... I thing I'm losing it.

  • Would the World Ever Stop for Me?

    No... this is not a rant post

    I found myself mumbling those words while I was climbing up a slow-moving bus with two heavy bags of newly purchased textbooks and a two gigantic roles of plastic book covers.

    Why the hell are you moving when I can barely hold on to the railings, damn it?

    Would the world ever stop for me?

    Why the hell do I have to go to school?

    Just kill me already.

    I was tired and miserable. Carrying two fucking bags of expensive textbooks drained the energy out of me. People look at me as if they've never seen a struggling student before. I wanted to say 'Fuck you all. You don't know how hard it is for me. You do not know how miserable I am. Wasting all my money on stuff that's going to do nothing but give me a mind numbing headache.'

    Why won't the world pause for a while and give me a fuckin' break? Huh? Why?

    But when I sat on one of the seats, I thought about what I just said.

    I'm just an insignificant speck of dust. Why would it stop for me when it doesn't stop for anyone else who's having a crappier time than I? Why won't it stop for those who starve so they can get all the opportunity in the world to raid convenient stores with no one to stop them?

    There are people who can't afford to buy a piece of paper while I can afford to buy all those expensive books. Of course it's heavy, it sucks carrying them all but that's a small price to pay for having all those blessings. But here I am, whining about it. So, if I'm complaining about carrying them, then, it's as if, I'm cursing the heavens for providing me with overflowing blessings.

    Then there are those who want to go to school but can't afford it and I'm studying... in a decent college that serves us with quality education. And I'm lucky 'coz I am. I have what many people want but can't get. But because of a little difficulty, I'm thinking of throwing it away. What kind of person am I?

    Just kill me already? That has got to be the worst thing that came out of my dirty little mouth. There are people who just died. There are people who are about to die and don't even know it and there are people who are expected to die. Some are seven years old and ready to die because they're sick. But I'm taking my life for granted, wishing for it to end just because of those books. Again, I have what they wish to have but I'm not seeing that. All I ever see is my own 'suffering.'

    So, would the world ever stop for me?

    No, it wouldn't even stop for those who are poverty-stricken and dying. They have to adapt to the lifestyle of the poor and the dying. All I have to do is climb a slow-moving bus with two heavy bags. It's just a temporary adjustment. I don't have to do it again. What right do I have to say that?

    The world will never adjust to my needs and wants. I'm the one who should adapt. And I've no right to complain about how 'miserable' I am and wonder if the world will ever adapt to suit my wants because there are more people in the world who are in worse situations than I but they're the ones who adjust.

    lastly...

    Danielle, you are a selfish bitch. You do not deserve what you have. The world needs a break from the likes of you.

  • Revealing my Evil Ways... One Question at a Time

    If a blind woman/man started hitting on you, what would you do?  

     Nothing. What am I supposed to do about it?

    If your dog peed on your crushes leg, would you be embarassed?

    No. My dog's just marking territory.

    If you had to chose what your mother would wear for the rest of her life, would you?

    If I had to? Well, I'll do it if I had to. What choice do I have?

    If your best-friend told you that she was going to get a new haircut, that you thought was ugly, would you try to tell her not to?

    Nope. Let her see for herself. She wouldn't listen anyways.


    Do you believe in abortion? Why or why not?

    I believe in abortion because it exists. In fact, it is a controversial issue. (Yeah, I know what you're asking for... I'm just not in the mood right now)

    If you were outside and a red car drove by and started shooting up your block while little children were playing outside, would you save the children if it meant possibly killing yourself? 

    Uh... no. I'm incapable of doing that. If I try, they'd just die along with me. It's better to give them no hope than false hope. That's the coward talking. If my sister is among them, I'll probably do it. Eww. That's a sign of love.

    If you were walking on the street and you saw a homeless man sitting on a cardboard box, would you give him some money if you had just gotten your paycheck? Or would you keep walking?

    I don't care much about them anymore. Through the years, I've mastered the art of being apathetic.

    What would you do if you found out your best-friend stole one of your mom's diamond necklaces?

    That's impossible because my mother has none. lol.

    If you had a chance to make $200, only, buy stripping for truckers on a corner, would you?

    'buy?' lol. I think I know someone who should be stripping for money *wink*. $200 is a small amount. And even if I'll get a million for it, I wouldn't degrade myself.


    If you get into a fight, or think you might, do you throw the first punch?

    I don't throw punches. I let them do what they want so I can act like a victim and make them look bad even though it doesn't really hurt. 

    If yes, did you know that if you throw the first punch and they person you hit would call the police, you could get a big fine, or arrested?

    Well, I said no, so I guess there's no need to answer this one.

    Would you smoke if it meant getting $30, or do you smoke anyways?

    I wouldn't smoke even if you give me all the money in the world. I have asthma and I would hate to worsen the situation. The environment is enough to kill me.

    What would you do if somebody that you didn't know mentioned something about possibly killing themselves?

    Hmmm... I'll say "don't. It's a regrettable decision?"

    Would you run down the street naked if it meant earning $150? 

    No. That's effed up. Not to mention cheap.

    Do you consider yourself daring? Tell me of one experience that would prove that you are daring.

    No. The most daring thing I ever did was talk trash about my teacher while she's still nearby. We pay the tuition fee and she teaches nothing. Seriously. Where did you encounter a teacher who does nothing in English class but talk about handbags? My friends and I suggested firing her. We wrote it in the evaluation sheet. Okay, that was way off topic.


    If the war in Iraq, became an actual war where America was fighting against Iraq, would you join to help our nation?

    I don't live in the US. I wouldn't be called to battle.

    Do you speak your mind? Or do you just keep it to yourself?

    Depends. If it will be beneficial to me, then yes.

    Would you ever join a gang because you liked the way that they protected their members and the members families?

    Nope.

    If you had a chance to go speak to troubled kids, maybe like yourself, and help turn their lives around, would you? 

    Why not? They are supposed to run the planet once the old ones retire. They should be molded for it. I'd like to be of help, even though I'm a kid as well.

    When it comes down to it, do you think you should get more respect or should your family?

    I think I get the respect I deserve so I couldn't ask for more. That would be imposing too much.

    Yeah... I got this stupid survey somewhere.

  • Rebecca and Jacob are Conniving Beasts

    Up until a few days ago, I loathed Rebecca and Jacob for stealing Esau's blessing. Yes, I symphatized with the hairy first born. Rebecca obviously favored Jacob over her first born and I thought that was unfair. I even wondered why Rebecca and Jacob weren't punished for deceiving Isaac and taking Esau's blessing away. I mean, seriously, Esau is her son too. How could she deprive him of that blessing? And Jacob? How could he take that away from his brother? I always thought that the two of them were conniving beasts for doing something like that.

    Well, not anymore.

    As I was reading Genesis, I found out that Rebecca did the right thing.

    Isaac appealed to the Lord on behalf of his wife because she was barren; the Lord yielded to his entreaty, and Rebecca conceived. The children pressed hard on each other in her womb, and she said, 'if this is how it is with me, what does it mean?' So she went to seek guidance of the Lord. The Lord said to her:

    'Two nations in your womb,

    two peoples, going their own ways from birth!

    One shall be stronger than the other;

    the older shall be servant to the younger.'

    (Genesis 25:21-23 The New English Bible, Oxford Cambridge)

    That's when it hit me. It's not because Rebecca favored Jacob. It's just that she knew about it all along. In a way, God revealed to her the future of her sons and she simply acted out upon God's will. After all, God wouldn't allow it if it wasn't his plan.

    Now that it's all clear, I don't think they treated Esau unfairly. It's only right and they weren't a couple of conniving beasts.

  • Extra! Extra! Read all About it

    flying-pig

    Because of the Swine Flu, classes are suspended until the 15th of June. This goes for all universities and colleges.

    Translation: My vacation is extended for one whole week. 

    More xanga time for me... which is awful news for you because I'll still be polluting the atmosphere with my constant rant pulses.

    On the plus side, I get to save money.

    And I still don't have to worry about looking like this:

    demon

    ...

    You have no idea what school does to a young girl.
